Strategy held off on buying more bitcoin last week, keeping its holdings steady at 845,050 BTC .
Instead, the company spent $176.3 million repurchasing 1.81 million shares of STRC stock.
The board also doubled the size of its approved digital credit securities buyback program, raising the limit from $1 billion to $2 billion. For now, the message is clear:
Strategy is taking a brief pause on bitcoin accumulation while putting more firepower behind its broader capital strategy.
ETH is currently sitting at a very important zone. This was previously a supply zone, but after breaking above it, the area has now turned into demand.
So far, price is holding this zone well. A clean break above $2,570 could add more fuel to the move and trigger a quick upside rally.
Keep watching ETH closely, if it moves, alts could follow in the same direction.
✨️Short-term Bitcoin whales are sitting on the most paper profit in years.
This CryptoQuant chart tracks unrealized P&L for short-term holder whales — big wallets that bought in the last ~155 days and have not sold yet.
• Blue bars = they are in profit
• Red bars = they are underwater
• White line = Bitcoin’s price
Through 2026 those whales spent long stretches in deep red (billions in paper losses) while $BTC chopped from six figures down toward $60k. The latest bounce flipped them hard into the green. The print cited: about $9.07 billion in unrealized profit — the highest since 2016 on this series.
That is paper profit. Nothing is sold until they click sell.
Why analysts flag it: short-term whales have often been quick to take gains when price stalls. A $9B cushion can support a trend — or become supply if BTC rejects $81k and they lock in.
Watch whether that blue spike fades (they sell) or holds (they ride). PPI and Friday CPI can force that choice.
Record paper profit is a warning light, not a sell button by itself. NFA
Xrp usdt is weakening below the $1.42-$1.44 local resistance after failing to hold the latest rebound. Price is now near $1.40, while the broader wedge structure still points lower. If sellers keep control, the next move could extend toward $1.35 first and then the major $1.30-$1.32 support area shown on the chart.
XRP is down about 1.1% today - buyers are struggling to hold recent gains.
XRP derivatives saw nearly $15M in long liquidations - leveraged buyers are being forced out.
ETF creation flows have recently cooled - reducing one source of consistent spot demand.
✨️💫 Bitcoin & Ethereum Face a Big Macro Test Next Week
While BTC is trading near $79,600 and ETH around $2,455, both are slipping as traders prepare for two major central-bank events.
US CPI arrives September 11, with inflation expected to stay at 3.4% as markets remain split 50/50 on whether the Fed hikes rates by 25 bps on September 16.
At the same time, markets are pricing in a 100% chance of a 25 bps ECB hike on September 10, adding another layer of pressure on risk assets.
That puts Bitcoin and eth between two macro catalysts: hotter inflation or more hawkish central banks could push prices lower, while softer data could quickly change the rate outlook.
✨️ Solana and XRP ETFs entered September with both products nearing $1.5 billion in assets.
For the first time, non-Bitcoin and non-Ethereum funds have reached this kind of scale, with both products running almost neck and neck.
If adoption and inflows continue, Solana and Ripple could be positioned for significant growth in the next market cycle. SOL and XRP could have serious upside.
🚨 Can ETH/USDT Break $2,523 Resistance and Push Toward $2,560? 👀Important
ETH LONG
Enter Between: $2,485 – $2,500 Take Your Money At: $2,560
Guys.
ETH is holding around $2,507, with RSI near 66–67 showing strong momentum. The key resistance is $2,523, while support sits around $2,457.
Buddiesssssss.....For a safer entry, wait for ETH to pull back into the $2,485–$2,500 zone and show buyers stepping in. If ETH gets a strong 1H close above $2,523 with rising volume, bullish momentum can strengthen toward $2,560.
Pro Tip: If ETH rejects $2,523, don’t chase the price. Wait for a pullback toward $2,485–$2,500 and only consider the long if buyers defend that zone.
🇵🇱 Poland’s Parliament Fails to Overturn Crypto Bill Veto. #Gate60MillionUsers Poland’s parliament has failed to overturn President Karol Nawrocki’s veto of a cryptocurrency regulation bill, leaving the country’s crypto industry facing continued uncertainty.
The vote fell short of the three-fifths majority required to override the president. The legislation would have placed Poland’s crypto market under the supervision of the Polish Financial Supervision Authority (KNF) and helped align the country’s rules with the EU’s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) framework.
Nawrocki has argued that the proposed rules are too restrictive and could push crypto businesses out of Poland, while Prime Minister Donald Tusk’s government says stronger oversight is needed to protect investors and combat illicit activity.
With the veto now standing, Poland’s regulatory framework for crypto remains unresolved, adding another layer of uncertainty for companies operating in the country.
💫💫 BTC IS DEFENDING THE BREAKOUT - $83K IS BACK IN PLAY
BTC broke above $81K on Sept. 4
#BTCUSDT is holding near $79,500 after the sharp push above $81K and the latest pullback into the rising support structure. Price has already reacted from the $78,800-$79,000 area, and buyers are trying to build another leg higher. If this support continues to hold, the next recovery path points toward $81,500 first and then the major $83,000-$83,500 resistance.
U.S. spot BTC ETFs posted $730.8M in net inflows on Sept. 3 - institutional demand strengthened sharply again.
before cooling back toward support - buyers have already shown they can push through the recent cap.
Glassnode says institutional inflows remain strong, while leverage is rising - bullish demand is there, but volatility could increase.
✨️ After 7 straight months of selling, $DASH has finally picked up fresh volume and has gained over 130% in just two weeks. If it can hold the $70 level it just reclaimed, I see another 20% upside, with a target around $85. 🚀
💥 Nvidia (NVDA) shares are trading around $NVDAdown 1.59% in recent activity as part of broader technology sector pullback. Despite the near term volatility, the stock is heavily anchored by an incredibly strong fiscal second quarter earnings report released on August 26, where revenue surged 106% year over year to $96.2billion.
Technical Insight:
NVDA is positioned in ascending momentum. The stock is progressively forming an upward channel with a partial higher highs and lows, in respect to the structure. Price approaches the trend support line, as we anticipate a long retracement within $214-$216. Key point:
A confirmed reverse around this zone, activates a buy position, eyeing $231,as next potential high. $NVDA
$BTC is currently about 35% below its all-time high, which puts the market at an interesting level for investors watching for the next major move.
A recovery above $82,800 and $87,500, backed by strong buying volume, could strengthen the bullish setup going into Q4.
For a stronger Q4 rally, I’d watch Bitcoin ETF inflows, Fed rate expectations, liquidity, Treasury yields, the U.S. dollar, spot trading volume and BTC holding key support around $75,000 to $72,000.
When these indicators improve together and Bitcoin starts making higher highs and higher lows, it could provide stronger confirmation that the next bullish trend is taking shape.
$ARB has pushed strongly higher on the 1H chart, breaking out from the previous consolidation and reaching around $0.132. Price is now showing some rejection near the highs, so a short-term pullback looks likely before another move.
The key demand zone sits around $0.108-$0.110, which lines up with the previous consolidation area. A retracement into this zone could provide the next area for buyers to step in, especially if price shows a clear reaction there.
If the zone holds, the structure can remain bullish and price could attempt another push toward the recent high around $0.135-$0.140. Losing $0.108, however, would weaken the setup and could open the door to a deeper correction.
#XRPUSDT is 📝testing the lower boundary of a large descending triangle structure on the 2H chart after repeatedly respecting both sides since Aug. 22. Price is now around $1.35, close to the same support line that previously attracted buyers. 📌 If this boundary holds and XRP breaks the descending resistance, the recovery path opens toward $1.45 and then the major $1.53–$1.55 resistance zone.
